Great Company, 11/29/2013

I just want to say that Bill Howe plumbing is the best in San Diego. We have used Bill Howe many times and for different services but we really needed them on the day before thanksgiving as we had... company coming into town for the holiday. The technician came out, quoted us a price, cleaned out the problem and problem solved.

Females Beware!, 9/30/2013

I've used these guys in the past and they took good care of me on price and service.
I had a female tenant call them to have a clogged line snaked and they charged her a whopping $395!!! I... guarantee you that they wouldn't have charged that if I were the one there. They clearly took advantage of a female.
Well, they don't have to worry about that ever again as I will never use their shady company again. Hopefully this post will help save some of the females out there from being taken advantage of like my tenant was.
If you want a company that treats everyone the same, check out Baird's Drain at (619) 462-8229

Rick did an excellent job helping me with my garbage disposer. He took his time and showed me step by step exactly what he did and how it was done. He really showed a lot of care and attention to detail. We will want to have Rick's services again for any of our plumbing needs. Thanks Rick!!

Our rates are flat and we do not charge based on gender. We quote prior to any work and never charge a service fee or trip charge so that customers have a choice before contracting our services. We spoke with Mr. W and attempted a resolution, but were unable to come to an agreement. This is not a gender issue, but an issue of cost. We are not the least expensive, but offer transparent pricing, full warranties and are happy to review pricing concerns to ensure customer satisfaction. We appreciate the feedback, but we have acted honestly, with integrity and at no time did we take advantage of anyone. In addition, we are an accredited business through the Better Business Bureau and have maintained an A+ rating because of our business ethics.

Great plumber

I just wanted to contact your office to let you know how pleased I was with the top notch service that I got from one of your plumbers. Marcus responded to my need for someone to fix a leak under the kitchen sink, and it turns out that the faucet had to be replaced. The faucet was original to our 35-40 year old house and I had been told by many plumbers that it would be next to impossible to replace. It was obviously difficult to find a replacement faucet, and the installation was difficult, too, as it was a very tight work space, but Marcus and his assistant were able to pull it off over a two day period. In addition to the professional attitude and talent, Marcus was a very pleasant person to talk to on a personal level. Thanks, again.

Thank you, Brian! We appreciate your time and business! Marcus recently returned after being out and we are very happy to have him back. He is a great tech and always professional. Sincerely, Julie Riddle

Service With a Smile

Had a great service experience with tech Brian D. Battled through Friday night traffic to fix our A/C unit which had shut down. Was kind enough to replace the filters for my wife (who was juggling the 9 mo. old) and got everything done in the hour.
Just 1 star taken off on price - these days I think services should be flat rate from 6 am - 8 pm, 7 days a week. I understand overtime rates at 2am in the morning, but getting hit with that fee because I want afternoon service when I call at noon seems a bit pricey to me.

I will definitely recommend them

Our drains recently started backing up and after getting a HUGE estimate from another company we called Bill Howe. Their tech came out quickly, was both friendly and professional and fixed our drain problems for a fraction of what the other company quoted us. I would recommend them to anyone.

Emergency Sunday call and Rick Diamond was the MAN! Very polite and knowledgeable, got a new water heater installed in what had to be record time. Showed me how to do the necessary maintenance also.

Difficult plumbing job well done

Share:

My wife and I have been customers of Bill Howe Plumbing for over 25 years, ever since my wife taught bill and Tina's children at preschool. Today's plumbing job was a challenge: every time Rick Diamond overcame one obstacle, another one rose up. Rick did great at figuring out how to do what I wanted done in getting water restored to my home. I would recommend Rick Diamond to everyone for his courtesy, good humor, and especially his savvy and experience in all matters plumbing. A BIG thank you to Rick...we have water again!

Bill Howe Plumbing is the BEST!

We called Bill Howe Plumbing this morning due to a broken toilet supply line. Charlie Gamez came out before noon, completed the replacement in less than an hour and left no mess at all. He was very personable, professional and did a great job. We only use Bill Howe for our plumbing needs and have always been satisfied.
